The History of the Fedora Logo

Hello. My name is Matt Muñoz and I'm one of the designers on the Red Hat design team. We've been following this logo conversation for weeks now, and have been tasked with pulling together the best ideas from the list into one cohesive Fedora logo.

A bit of background information -- we knew the new logo must: be more than a text treatment (so people will perceive it as a "real" logo), be extensible (so subprojects can be expanded in a logical way), and that it cannot be a fedora (out of respect for the Shadowman and Red Hat's wishes).

One of the members of your list, Fabian M. Schindler, wrote, "... a good logo needs to be simple, easy to print, with minimal distraction, attractive, dynamic, and easy to distinguish from other logos." The following is our attempt to do just that.
